I'm curious about your statement that you're using keybase, but not GPG. If you're only interacting with others that are using keybase, I assume that's possible, but if you're interacting with others, you're going to have to use GPG, right? Keybase can handle public keys, but your private key is yours. Or am I missing something?

Keybase has increasingly moved to its own crypto model that isn't GPG backed. Even in cases where "traditional" PKI RSA and ECC curves are used, it doesn't use the GPG tools anymore and instead other open source implementations.
